Chapter 1495: Prosperous Chang'an
Chang'an City today can be said to be extremely developed. In the original history, without Li Xiang's interference, it was also the most developed city in the world. After Li Xiang's intervention, this title was only advanced. Now Chang'an City has nearly a million people.
During the Kaiyuan period, Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty could achieve this prosperity, but under Li Xiang's intervention, this crown was taken off decades or even hundreds of years in advance. There was no curfew on the streets, and prosperity was everywhere.
General Moran had come once before, and he was prepared for the prosperity of Chang'an City, but these people at home were different. They had been in the Western Regions for a long time. Although they lived in the capital of Gaochang, it was not comparable to Chang'an City. Even a state capital below was much more developed than the Western Regions.
Although they were all in the carriage at the moment, many children could no longer sit still when they saw the prosperity around Chang'an City. Including some wives in the carriage, they also wanted to go to the surrounding shops to have a look. However, everyone also knew the rules and had to follow General Moran and could not act privately.
"My sister-in-law and the children should want to get off and take a walk. General, don't worry. I have already found special people to accompany them. These people have waist badges from the General Tiance Mansion. Nothing will happen. Let my sister-in-law and the children get off."
Qian Ping was a servant and could best guess what these people were thinking. He had long seen that several sons of General Moran could not stay, and some younger concubines wanted to see the prosperity of Chang'an City.
In fact, this is also a very normal thing. Not to mention General Moran's family, even the princes and sons of princes from all over the country, as long as they arrived in Chang'an City, they could not stay in their carriages. At the beginning, they might have to force themselves to stay in the carriage for various majesties, but as long as they walked for a while, there were all kinds of novel things, and these people really couldn't control themselves.
General Moron's family was able to control themselves for such a long time. In the eyes of Qian Ping and Su Dingfang, this was already very well-educated. Some time ago, some Vietnamese dignitaries came and entered the city gate about 50 meters away. These people could no longer sit in the car. The juggling on both sides was so awesome that they were attracted and were unwilling to move forward. They didn't know that the front was more exciting.
"Then I'll have to trouble the general manager Qian. Everyone in the family lives in Gaochang. It's really shameful."
General Moron said a little embarrassedly, but he really loved his children. After seeing the situation in front of him, he didn't regret his decision at all. If he continued to stay in the Western Regions, even if these children grew up to be dozens of years old, they would probably never see such a prosperous city.
After arriving in Chang'an City, he finally understood why Cheng Chumo and his people were so confident. No matter how attractive the outside world was, they would eventually come back here. It was heard that the Jiangnan urban agglomeration in the Tang Dynasty was more prosperous, and it was not inferior to Chang'an City. If there was a chance, he should really go there to have a look and let his family go there to have a look.
With the people from the Tiance General's Mansion following him, there was no need to worry about the safety of his family. General Molun followed Su Dingfang to the commercial center of Zhidaobao. There were all kinds of fun things here. In addition to Su Dingfang, there were also some generals and veterans who had fought in the Western Regions. They were all ready here. According to Li Xiang's order, they welcomed General Molun's arrival together.
They understood Li Xiang's idea. After General Molun arrived in Chang'an City, he did not feel any loneliness at all. After all, leaving his hometown was extremely sad for anyone. As long as the people in Chang'an City were enthusiastic enough and General Molun's family lived a good life, they would soon forget the nostalgia for the Western Regions.
"Welcome General Moron."
There were dozens of generals and veterans standing on both sides. These people had fought in the Western Regions, and some of them had had contacts with General Moron. Seeing these familiar faces at this moment, General Moron felt that life might be a little better, at least there would be someone to talk to here.
"Thank you all. In the future, my family and I will live in Chang'an City. I hope you can take care of us. I am here to be polite."
Standing at the door of Zhidaobao, General Moron saluted these people first, and these people present naturally returned the salute in unison. They also knew that what General Moron did in the Western Regions helped our Tang Dynasty grow a lot of prestige. If there was no General Moron, the Tang Dynasty would probably have to spend a lot more effort to firmly control the Western Regions.
Now according to the news they heard, tens of thousands of soldiers in Gaochang are likely to become Tang people. This is also a strategy of the court. Their points are actually enough, so they should be given the rights of Tang people and allow their families to immigrate inland.
For many people in the Western Regions, as long as they have seen the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, they all want to let their families live in such a place. Although the Western Regions are their hometown, the local natural environment is too harsh, so many people work hard to kill enemies on the battlefield in order to allow their families to live in a better place.
"We are all family, so let's not stay at the door. Let's hurry in. The delicious food and wine are ready. You have seen how much General Moren can drink in the Western Regions. Now that we are in our hometown, we must show our drinking capacity and let General Moren be carried back tonight. Otherwise, it will not reflect our hospitality."
Su Dingfang's words made the people below howl. The people in the military camp were basically in this situation. They had to fight to the death on the battlefield, and they had to fight to the death in the wine field. When they were in the Western Regions, General Moren was a famous wine king, so now everyone wanted to prove it.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin has arrived."
Just as the group was about to go in, they suddenly heard a duck voice. Even General Moren himself did not expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin were both here. What virtue and ability did he have? He could actually let the two princes appear here at the same time. (End of this chapter)
